Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread

V Today we went exploring in some nearby woods. I’m constantly amazed at how long this little toddler of mine can walk. I’m certain if we were still in Utah, he wouldn’t have the resistance built up to walk nearly as far as he does. He definitely has London legs.…

Sorry that I’ve been absent the last few weeks. I’ve been working tirelessly on a few projects, one of which I can’t wait to share with you, but as for now it’s still under wraps. Hopefully I’ll be able to complete it and get it up and running within the…

Holiday Cookies | Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies
2014-12-03 20:37:20 UTC
I love baking–especially in the winter time. When it is cold outside and your oven warms the house and the smell of cookies or bread fills the air–that is when baking is at its best. One baking tradition I’ve always loved is giving holiday cookies to neighbours and friends. The…

Over the Top Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving
2014-11-25 21:49:22 UTC
Last year our Thanksgiving was slightly depressing. We didn’t really celebrate it at all. In fact we ate traditional British food instead. You can read about it here. This year we’re celebrating it twice, I guess, in part to make up for last year. On Thursday we’re having the missionaries…

Garlic Rosemary Bread
2014-11-14 10:23:35 UTC
Right now my kitchen is a complete disaster. Little G has recently decided that any food he does not eat should go on the floor. I don’t always catch him in time to stop him. This morning was one of those times. We made muffins. My favourite recipe. (I will…

I know, I know, the blog world is overrun with macarons right now and the fact that I haven’t perfected these makes me that much more hesitant to post, but I recently read a post from Bravetart.com that was titled Macarons Are For Eating (if you’re interested, she has loads…
